[Zope] PAM user folders?

[Andrew H. Chatham]

Hi,
	I'm not sure if this is the right mailing list to ask (maybe
zope-dev?), but here's what I'm trying to do. I need to authenticate
potentially a very large number of people off of kerberos5. To my knowledge
there's no krb5 userfolder or anything like that; I could write one, but it
seems that it would be much more elegant and possibly easier to use some sort
of PAM authentication and then just use a PAM-krb5 module.

	But it doesn't seem like there's a PAM-Zope interface either, is there?
Or am I just not seeing it? There seemed to be some discussion previously of
how that would be a good idea, but I never sawa conclusion. If there is no such
animal, I guess I'll write one. Is my impression that things are moving towards
LoginManager plugins correct? Would that be the ideal place to put this kind of
thing? Has anyone attempted to do much with this? I would imagine with the
PyPAM module it wouldn't be terribly difficult, but I'd rather not duplicate
effort if I don't have to.

Andrew
